SePA Takes the Lead in Critical Links Membership Drive
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter jumped into the lead in AACN's Critical Links membership campaign when it recruited seven new members in June to boost its total to 10 since the drive began May 1.
To date, chapters and individuals have recruited a total of 642 new members. (For individual results, see page 3.) The drive ends March 31.
The Rewards
The 2005-06 campaign offers a revamped list of prizes that aligns chapters with individual rewards. This year, the chapter recruiting the most new members during the campaign will receive a $1,000 honorarium check toward its treasury.
In addition, any chapter recruiting a member in a month will be eligible for a monthly drawing to receive one complimentary registration for AACN's National Teaching Institute and Critical Care Exposition. The winner of the May drawing is the Greater Austin Area Chapter.
Plus, each chapter that recruits five or more new members during the campaign will be entered into three drawings for $500 honorarium checks.
Note: For the recruiter to qualify for prizes and drawings, new members must include either the recruiter's name or chapter name on the "referred by" line of the application. Chapters must be in good standing to be considered for prizes.

In the Circle: Excellence in Chapter Leadership Development
Editor's note: The Excellence in Chapter Leadership Development Award promotes the development of AACN chapter members to assist in defining the future of chapters. Part of AACNs Circle of Excellence recognition program, the focus is on chapter leadership development plans, outcomes and effective leadership transitions. Following are excerpts from the exemplars submitted in connection with this award for 2005.
West Michigan Chapter
Grand Rapids, Mich.
Many AACN chapters face the challenges of promoting leadership development among members, especially in regard to board of director positions. Over time, the West Michigan Chapter has consistently reviewed and revised strategies for ongoing chapter leadership development, after identifying that to continue to grow as a chapter, "fresh" mindsets were crucial to future survival.
The AACN Board Learning Partner program, designed for development of future leaders at the national level, was identified as the ideal program to model at the local chapter level. The role of the Board Learning Partner is to provide information regarding strategic agenda items and gain exposure to the various board of director positions.
A West Michigan Chapter Board Learning Partner is a member who has been selected to serve a one-year, nonvoting term on the Board of Directors. AACN West Michigan Chapter Board Learning Partners are mentored in all aspects of chapter management.
The program has successfully provided the chapter with diversity of thought and rejuvenation of spirit in its board leadership. This allows the chapter to further the strategic plan and support critical care nurses throughout the West Michigan community. In addition, other chapters have been able to adapt the West Michigan Board Learning Partner program to their individual settings. Local chapter and community leaders have emerged and now contribute on a daily basis to the provision of optimal patient and family care. The
The West Michigan Chapter Board Learning Partner program provides one avenue for critical care nurses to live their optimal contribution.
Palm Beach County Chapter
West Palm Beach, Fla.
In September 1973, Palm Beach County was recognized as one of the pioneer AACN chapters in Florida. A group of critical care nurses, driven by a unified purpose and vision, created the foundation for a strong and resilient organization.
Thirty-one years later, our chapter remains steadfast in its mission. Membership is at its highest and most diversified level, from nurse executives, educators, clinicians, telemetry and recovery room nurses to advanced practice nurses. We have more volunteers sharing their time, expertise, creativity and leadership skills. Where before we had a handful of leaders willing to hold office, the chapter is now a hub of seasoned and future leaders nurtured by mentors. Along the way, we have learned valuable lessons gleaned from different leadership styles.
The chapter's success is attributed to its openness to member evaluation, its willingness to apply changes as needed and the consistent tenacity of its leaders. Strategies that proved to be instrumental are the use of a strategic planning meeting, a monthly newsletter, e-mail and message boards, and revitalizing the hospital ambassador program.
The Nominations Committee proved to be another strong pillar. Their responsibilities include scouting potential leaders and volunteers, identifying their strengths, overseeing the process of nomination and election and assisting in leadership transition by pairing mentors with mentees.
In June, each elected officer receives a binder with their duties and responsibilities and a manual of policies and procedures. The process includes transfer of chapter records and collaborative planning for the next year. Since 2003-2004, motions adopted are recorded separately for easier review by new officers. Last year, an assessed need was to have more knowledge on media relations and political awareness. An interactive lecture, "Using Media as a Tool" with a Public Policy Update, was held, and opportunities for public relations and legislative involvement were highlighted throughout the year.
Regional Chapter Representatives Are Communication Leaders
The Chapter Advisory Team provides an important link between chapters and the National Office, ensuring effective communication among the AACN Board of Directors, National Office and local chapters on pressing issues chapters face. Advisers are volunteers who have expert knowledge about chapter issues and trends in their regions of the country as well as about what is happening at the national level and how that affects chapters.

Visible light (commonly referred to simply as light) is electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, and is responsible for the sense of sight. Visible light is usually defined as having a wavelength in the range of 400 nanometres (nm), or 400×10−9 m, to 700 nanometres – between the infrared, with longer wavelengths and the ultraviolet, with shorter wavelengths. These numbers do not represent the absolute limits of human vision, but the approximate range within which most people can see reasonably well under most circumstances. Various sources define visible light as narrowly as 420 to 680 to as broadly as 380 to 800 nm. Under ideal laboratory conditions, people can see infrared up to at least 1050 nm, children and young adults ultraviolet down to about 310 to 313 nm.
Primary properties of visible light are intensity, propagation direction, frequency or wavelength spectrum, and polarisation, while its speed in a vacuum, 299,792,458 meters per second, is one of the fundamental constants of nature. Visible light, as with all types of electromagnetic radiation (EMR), is experimentally found to always move at this speed in vacuum.
Nuclear physics is the field of physics that studies the constituents and interactions of atomic nuclei. The most commonly known applications of nuclear physics are nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons technology, but the research has provided application in many fields, including those in nuclear medicine and magnetic resonance imaging, ion implantation in materials engineering, and radiocarbon dating in geology and archaeology.
The field of particle physics evolved out of nuclear physics and is typically taught in close association with nuclear physics.
Gamma radiation, also known as gamma rays, and denoted by the Greek letter γ, refers to electromagnetic radiation of extremely high frequency and therefore high energy per photon. Gamma rays are ionizing radiation, and are thus biologically hazardous. They are classically produced by the decay from high energy states of atomic nuclei (gamma decay), but are also created by other processes. Paul Villard, a French chemist and physicist, discovered gamma radiation in 1900, while studying radiation emitted from radium. Villard's radiation was named "gamma rays" by Ernest Rutherford in 1903.
Natural sources of gamma rays on Earth include gamma decay from naturally occurring radioisotopes, and secondary radiation from atmospheric interactions with cosmic ray particles. Rare terrestrial natural sources produce gamma rays that are not of a nuclear origin, such as lightning strikes and terrestrial gamma-ray flashes. Gamma rays are produced by a number of astronomical processes in which very high-energy electrons are produced, that in turn cause secondary gamma rays by the mechanisms of bremsstrahlung, inverse Compton scattering and synchrotron radiation. A large fraction of such astronomical gamma rays are screened by Earth's atmosphere and can only be detected by spacecraft.
The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object has a different meaning, and is instead the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object.
The electromagnetic spectrum extends from below the low frequencies used for modern radio communication to gamma radiation at the short-wavelength (high-frequency) end, thereby covering wavelengths from thousands of kilometers down to a fraction of the size of an atom. The limit for long wavelengths is the size of the universe itself, while it is thought that the short wavelength limit is in the vicinity of the Planck length, although in principle the spectrum is infinite and continuous.
Electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) is one of the fundamental phenomena of electromagnetism, behaving as waves propagating through space, and also as photon particles traveling through space, carrying radiant energy. In a vacuum, it propagates at a characteristic speed, the speed of light, normally in straight lines. EMR is emitted and absorbed by charged particles. As an electromagnetic wave, it has both electric and magnetic field components, which oscillate in a fixed relationship to one another, perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of energy and wave propagation.
EMR is characterized by the frequency or wavelength of its wave. The electromagnetic spectrum, in order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength, consists of radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays. The eyes of various organisms sense a somewhat variable but relatively small range of frequencies of EMR called the visible spectrum or light. Higher frequencies correspond to proportionately more energy carried by each photon; for instance, a single gamma ray photon carries far more energy than a single photon of visible light.
Ionizing (or ionising) radiation is radiation composed of particles that individually carry enough kinetic energy to liberate an electron from an atom or molecule, ionizing it. Ionizing radiation is generated through nuclear reactions, either artificial or natural, by very high temperature (e.g. plasma discharge or the corona of the Sun), via production of high energy particles in particle accelerators, or due to acceleration of charged particles by the electromagnetic fields produced by natural processes, from lightning to supernova explosions.
When ionizing radiation is emitted by or absorbed by an atom, it can liberate an atomic particle (typically an electron, proton, or neutron, but sometimes an entire nucleus) from the atom. Such an event can alter chemical bonds and produce ions, usually in ion-pairs, that are especially chemically reactive. This greatly magnifies the chemical and biological damage per unit energy of radiation because chemical bonds will be broken in this process. If the atom were inside a crystal lattice in a solid phase, then a "hole" would exist where the original atom was.

KLUTCHclub Box filled with Health, Fitness and Wellness Products Only $9 Shipped ($100 Value!)
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Thursday, January 24th, 2013 at 1:18 pm.
UPDATE: Please note that the special Hip2Save offer is only valid on a Best of Box purchase and not on the regular boxes.
Looking to stay fit and energized in 2013?! Then check out this exclusive offer just for Hip2Save readers! KLUTCHclub is a monthly subscription service that sends a hand-picked and "themed" box of holistic health, fitness and wellness products specifically for women or men (like organic protein bars, workout wear, skincare products, teas, and more!) right to your doorstep every month. Each box comes packed full with at least $50 worth of products. Sweet!
Through January 29th, Hip2Save readers can exclusively snag the special Valentine's Day Best of Box like the one pictured above (contents may vary) for just $1 + $8 shipping after you enter the promo code hip2save at checkout. This is an amazing deal since this Best of Box has a retail value of $100. Note that if you purchase the Best of Box after January 29th, you'll receive a regular Best of Box and not the Valentine's Themed box pictured above.
*If you sign-up this month for a Valentine's Day Best of Box, you will be set up with an auto-renewing subscription for a regular box at $10/box + $8/shipping ($18/month total). If you prefer not to auto-renew, be sure to log into your account, click "Update Your Account", and then de-select the auto renew option or you can call 312-255-0802 and they can do it for you!
Spread the word on a great deal:
62 Hip Readers Commented
Angie says:
the box that they have pictured on thier site does not look like it is worth $100. It is a few samples and a full size bottle of Honest Tea. Can anyone vouch for this being worthwhile?
Denise says:
Yes its worth it!!! Its a great "surprise" every month… ;-) Use my link as a referal.. http://bit.ly/VaOAop I'd greatly appreciate it!
Nikki says:
I 'm not risking this one.
I agree-this stuff looks like smaller sample size stuff. Not worth my frugal bucks :)
runnerinstilettos says:
This is exciting! Just ordered one and am looking forward to blogging about the products!
Barb says:
i ordered one.
sarah says:
Bree says:
Ordered one. I'm hoping it comes with the Shakeology samples…I've been wanting to try those! Thanks, Collin :)
Julie Dostal says:
I can help you with any Shakeology questions!!
Jackie says:
Looks like there's a $50 gift card to somewhere so that's probably where half the value comes from. I see Beachbody products in this picture, and a Chalene Turbofire workout in the other, so that makes me definitely consider this.
Stephanie says:
I keep getting the message– Your cart does not contain any eligible products. What am I doing wrong?!
Collin (Mrs. Hip) says:
Please note that the special Hip2Save offer is only valid on a Best of Box purchase and not on the regular boxes.
mary2186 says:
make sure you're clicking on the valentine's day best of box and not just the normal monthly box. hope this helps!
oliushka says:
same here
french2s says:
Same here
Collin (Mrs. Hip) says:
Keep in mind that the special Hip2Save offer is only valid on a Best of Box purchase and not on the regular boxes.
Arianne says:
Yay! Excited for this! Thanks Colin :)
If anyone would be so kind, here is my referral link. 50 "klutch bucks" for using it. >>>>> http://bit.ly/Y1CMr0
Julie Bashkin says:
Angie- you are looking at the Men's February box that is $50 of value and is priced lower (it has a $50 Zeel gift card and a gift card to Le Boot Camp). The $100 value box is the Valentines Day Best of Box only- it has a $50 gift card to iTrain, a workout DVD, and loads of personal care and beauty products. Stephanie and Oliushka- the offer is goof for Best of Box only- not other products.
oliushka says:
Thank You Julie. I had to call them and they helped me. For some reason my order didnt went through the first time. I guess hip2save advertisement is working :P
Thanks again for the offer. I just started P90 program think your boxes might help to stay motivated! Thanks Collin for taking care of our health too :)
Meagan says:
I got the same message. You can not send it as a gift. You have to click the top button that says "add to cart" not the one at the end of the page
Ashley says:
Arianne I used yours! If anyone would like to us my referral link, here it is! :) http://bit.ly/Wxouxh
Arianne says:
Thank you Ashley!!
Suszy says:
Thanks, I can't wait to try the products out!
french2s says:
Got mine to work.
french2s says:
Too bad it won't ship until February 15th. They only ship on the 15th of the month.
Sophia says:
Do you have to wait until it's shipped to choose not to renew?
Debby says:
Ok I tried to unselect the monthly option…and I'm not seeing a place to unselect?? Anyone help?
Julie Bashkin says:
They will ship in time for Valentines day! We ship starting on the 15th and then every few days after the 15th. So all orders from Today will be shipped tomorrow or Monday- you will receive a shipping notification! And yes, unfortunately you should wait until it ships to opt-out of auto-renew (we explain this in our FAQs because if you hit cancel now, the transaction might get cancelled altogether).
Marissa says:
I clicked to opt-out of auto-renew as soon as I ordered :/
How will I know for sure if my transaction is cancelled?

Virtua Tennis 3 Review
Love means nothing in tennis, but don't let that discourage you.
Sumo Digital has done a great job of porting the Xbox 360 version of Virtua Tennis 3 to the PSP. In fact, when running both titles side-by-side, their presentations are near-identical. But how the game is offered isn't all it has going for it. Like most successful sports franchises, Virtua Tennis 3 also has a solid foundation to expand on. The arcade-inspired gameplay makes jumping into a match as easy as pressing start and the three-button setup has a surprising amount of flexibility. In other words, it's perfect for portable gaming.
For a coin-op inspired setup, there's a surprising amount of gameplay depth here. Simple hits like lobs, slices, and top spins can be modified into smashes, drops, and running shots based on player position and the amount of time a button is held; and when you factor in variable player stats and multiple surface types, you get a pretty good game of tennis.
Truth be told, playing lob wars with an ad hoc buddy or the CPU can be a lot of fun -- even if it does feel extremely similar to 2005's Virtua Tennis: World Tour. Whether you're smashing back and forth in a singles match or teaming up with three others for a doubles competition, there's real entertainment value here -- and some matches can get downright intense. When two or more advanced players are butting heads, it's not uncommon to see 30-stroke volleys that involve every racket motion known to man. Diehard fans should feel right at home.
The revamped World Tour Mode is a nice distraction as well, but it does feel a little limited compared to the 2005 game. Most folks will still spend the majority of their time in World Tour obviously, but the tweaked interface and loss of a market option is a slight backwards step. However, the inclusion of the sim-like stamina meter, the all-new mini-games, various practice challenges and a formal "Tennis Academy" (for fine-tuning attributes and skills) is a definite move forward. Putting it all together makes for quite a few game years of net play and all things considered, it's still pretty good.
One of the reasons that World Tour is so interesting is because creating your own character is actually entertaining. Though the facial modification and accessory options are limited (even more so than the console version, as the PSP edition removes the option to do real-time morphing), enhancing a player via the Tennis Academy (timed shot challenges) and the mini-games is really addictive. Finding an excuse to avoid boulder-sized tennis balls while capturing fruit to improve your footwork or blowing up orb-shooting robots to better your stroke is a smart and surreal way to pass the time. Being able to influence what sort of tendencies your alter ego has (big server, fast runner, etc) is a nice touch too.

Mast: that's a great write of the process, thanks for the link. It will definitely help
PorFin: Thanks for mentioning MaineSail's excellent how-to. I have seen it but it actually didn't occur to me to try to bring back the original gelcoat on deck. I'll be down at the boat next weekend and take a closer look with an eye towards refinish.
I suspect that most of it will respond well as you suggest. Most of the gelcoat is still quite good. However there are a few areas, particularly in the cockpit, that seem particularly worn. Specifically there are areas that appear to have small pinholes, and these invariably collect dirt and whatnot. I might just do a little hand sanding/compounding in those areas to see if it can come back.

Rumor has it that Acer is readying a new hybrid tablet device that will be slotted a notch below its Acer Aspire Switch 10 device, reports liliputing. The Acer Aspire Switch 10 is a device that comes with a removable display unit which on its own can function as a tablet. When attached to the keypad unit, the device resembles as a mini notebook. Aspire Switch 10 can be considered to be in league of the Transformer series of devices from domestic competitor Asus and a direct competitor to the Asus Transformer Book T100.
However, at $379, the Aspire Switch 10 is not likely to be the cheapest in the line-up. For that much of money, what buyers get is a device with a quad core Intel Atom Z3745 Bay Trail chip, 2 GB of RAM and 32/64 GB of storage. A 10.1 inch display lit up by 1366 x 768 pixels makes for a quite decent viewing pleasure, if not the best. The tablet unit gets attached to the keypad by way of magnetic action and is strong enough to support the weight of the entire unit even when its held up by the tablet. Another cool aspect of the device is that the display can be fitted in the conventional manner that is facing the user or the other way round (think Lenovo Yoga).
However, as Mobile Geeks have mentioned, there is another version of the Aspire Switch 10 in the wild, one that is even cheaper. Of course there are compromises that have to be made to arrive at the lower price point. This has been arrived at by packing in a slightly less capable processor, a lower reolution display and a slightly smaller battery. However, given that the Aspire Switch 10 manages to offer just decent performance, it remains to be seen if its less costly sibling will be worth enough. This particularly applies to the battery since the Swtich 10 already has a not so stellar battery life.

See you at the pollPosted Friday, October 19, 2007, at 1:05 PM
When we went to our new web page design in early August, our opinion polls got pushed down to the bottom of the main splash page. I think fewer people notice them as a result, and our participation has gone down. However, we did pick up the opportunity for readers to leave a comment along with their vote.
One poll voter is apparently unhappy that our last two polls have been about relatively lightweight subjects: WHY NOT PUT SOMETHING THAT MATTERS BACK ON HERE Why? Because we try to have something for everyone, and some people are looking for an opportunity to complain, in all capital letters, and without the expected question mark. In all seriousness, we've always gone back and forth between serious and silly poll topics. The current poll is about tongue-in-cheek presidential candidates. Before that, we asked about favorite T-G comic strips. That poll actually had a serious purpose to it; someone had complained about his favorite strip sometimes being omitted, and so we wanted to see which comics were the most popular. The two polls before that were both on hard-news topics. The fact of the matter is, our new web page design gives people more chances than ever before to make their voices heard about a variety of serious issues, by commenting on stories and blog posts. We'll continue to do both serious and not-so-serious polls, but I don't see what our commenter has to be so upset about. Respond to this blog Posting a comment requires free registration:

On June 20, 2013, in American Express Co. v. Italian Colors Restaurant, the U.S. Supreme Court held that, under the Federal Arbitration Act, courts cannot invalidate a class arbitration waiver on the ground that the plaintiffs' cost to individually prove their claims would greatly exceed their potential recovery. This decision furthers the Court's trend of striking down legal bases for invalidating arbitration agreements, and will affect class arbitration in various contexts, including consumer and employment agreements. In American Express, the agreement between the credit card company and merchants included an arbitration clause, and provided that "[t]here shall be no right or authority for any Claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis." The merchants brought a putative class action alleging antitrust violations and submitted evidence that the expert analysis necessary to prove their antitrust claims would cost at least several hundred thousand dollars, while the maximum recovery for an individual plaintiff would be $12,850, and under $40,000 even if trebeled. The Court stated that "the antitrust laws do not guarantee an affordable procedural path to the vindication of every claim," nor do such laws "evince an intention to preclude a waiver of class-action procedure." The Court also explained that federal law does not secure a "nonwaivable opportunity to vindicate federal policies by satisfying the procedural strictures of Rule 23" or by invoking a class mechanism in arbitration. The merchants argued that the class waiver barred "effective vindication" of their federal statutory rights, because they had no economic incentive to pursue their claims individually. The Court recognized its prior decisions indicating that arbitration agreements could be struck down if they prevented effective vindication of statutory rights, but explained that this exception applied only when parties' right to pursue a claim was affected. For example, the exception would apply if an agreement prohibited the assertion of certain claims, or if filing and administrative fees attached to arbitration made access to the forum impracticable. But financial impediments to proving a claim did not meet this exception. The Court noted that the class-action waiver "no more eliminates those parties' right to pursue their statutory remedy than did federal law before its adoption of the class action for legal relief in 1938." The Court also commented that its decision in Concepcion "all but resolve[d]" the case, because in that case, the Court "specifically rejected the argument that class arbitration was necessary to prosecute claims that might otherwise slip through the legal system."
Three dissenting justices focused on the practical impact of the case, explaining that under the majority's decision, "[t]he monopolist gets to use its monopoly power to insist on a contract effectively depriving its victims of all legal recourse." Because the agreement prohibited class actions, as well as consolidation or joinder and other potential avenues of reducing expense, the dissent concluded that the case fell squarely within the "effective vindication" exception. This decision further emphasizes that entities wishing to avoid class claims should include specific class-action waivers in their arbitration agreements. The issues in American Express are particularly applicable to the employment context. For example, in wage-and-hour cases, plaintiff-employees frequently argue that the costs of pursuing small claims individually make such claims economically unfeasible. The Fair Labor Standards Act—unlike the antitrust statutes at issue in American Express—specifically authorizes collective actions. Plaintiffs may argue that the language of, and policy behind, federal employment statutes compels a different result. But note that, in reaching its decision, the Court stated that in Gilmer—a 1991 employment case under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act—the Court "had no qualms enforcing a class waiver in an arbitration agreement even though the federal statute at issue, the [ADEA], expressly permitted collective actions." It remains to be seen how this decision will affect class arbitration in the employment context.

HONG KONG/LEIPZIG, Germany: In recent years, dental stem cells have increasingly been investigated for their use in medical applications, including the rehabilitation of lost or damaged biological function. Scientists from the Nagoya University in the Nagasaki Prefecture in Japan have reported that they could possibly help to repair injuries of the spinal cord, a leading cause of paralysis and disability.
Having transplanting human dental pulp stem cells into lab rats with severe spinal cord injury (SCI), they found that the animals regained significantly more limp function than through a transplant of human bone marrow stromal cells or skin-derived fibroblasts. According to the researchers, the cells not only inhibited the death of nerve cells, but also promoted the regeneration of severed nerves and replaced lost support cells with new ones, two main factors essential for functional rehabilitation.
"Spinal cord injury often leads to persistent functional deficits due to the loss of neurons and glia and to limited axonal regeneration," they stated in the study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation last week. "Our data demonstrate that tooth-derived stem cells may provide therapeutic benefits for treating SCI through both cell-autonomous and paracrine neuroregenerative activities."
Investigating different types of stem cells for their potential in SCI rehabilitation has a long track record in science. This September, for example, researchers from the Medical College of Wisconsin reported that they had begun to implant foetal neural cells into SCI patients. The Nagoya study is the first to have shown a rehabilitation effect in SCI cases with stem cells derived from dental tissue.
Classified by the grade of impairment, SCI can have mild to severe health effects on patients, including total loss of biological function. Common therapies include surgery, long-term physical therapy and other rehabilitation efforts.

Bangalore: The Regional Institute of English has prepared a book titled "English for Engineers" to enhance the English language skills of students in engineering colleges and make them professionally competent. According to M.D. Gayathri Devi Dutt, director of the institute, the book aims at fulfilling a long-felt need; an English language course book in the interactive mode for use in engineering colleges and other professional institutions.
The book published by Foundation Books, a unit of the Cambridge House of New Delhi, emphasises on four skills, which include listening, speaking, writing and reading.
"The focus is on accuracy and appropriate usage of the language besides developing the cognitive abilities of the learner," she said.

Machaerus (Μαχαιροῦς, from Ancient Greek: μάχαιρα "Makhaira" (a sword); Arabic: ِقلعة المشناقى Qal'atu l-Mishnāqá) is a fortified hilltop palace located in Jordan fifteen miles (24 km) southeast of the mouth of the Jordan river on the eastern side of the Dead Sea. According to Flavius Josephus, it is the location of the imprisonment and execution of John the Baptist. [1] According to the chronology of the Bible (Mark 6:24; Matthew 14:8), this infamous execution took place in 32 AD shortly before the Passover, following an imprisonment of two years. The site also provides the setting for four additional New Testament characters: Herod The Great; his son, Tetrach Herod Antipas; his second wife, Princess Herodias, and her daughter, Princess Salome.[2]
The fortress Machaerus was originally built by the Hasmonean king, Alexander Jannaeus (104 BC-78 BC) in about the year 90 BC,[3] serving an important strategic position. Its high, rocky vantage point was difficult to access, and invasions from the east could be easily spotted from there. It was also in line of sight of other Hasmonean (and later Herodian) citadels, so other fortresses could be signaled if trouble appeared on the horizon.[4] Nevertheless, it was destroyed by Pompey's general Gabinius in 57 BC,[5] but later rebuilt by Herod the Great in 30 BC to be used as a military base to safeguard his territories east of the Jordan.
Upon the death of Herod the Great, the fortress was passed to his son, Herod Antipas, who ruled from 4 BC until 39 AD. It was during this time, at the beginning of the first century AD, that John the Baptist was imprisoned and beheaded at Machaerus.[6]
After the deposition and banishment of Herod Antipas in 39 AD, Machaerus passed to Herod Agrippa I until his death in 44 AD, after which it came under Roman control. Jewish rebels took control after 66 AD during the First Jewish Revolt.[7] Shortly after defeating the Jewish garrison of Herodium, the Roman legate Lucilius Bassus advanced on Machaerus with his troops and began siege in 72 AD. An embankment and ramp were created in order to facilitate Roman siege engines but the Jewish rebels capitulated before the Roman attack had begun. The rebels were allowed to leave and the fortress was torn down, leaving only the foundations intact.
Josephus gives a full description of Machaerus in The Wars of the Jews 7.6.1 ff. The hilltop, which stands about 1,100 meters above Dead Sea level, is surrounded on all sides by deep ravines which provide great natural strength. The valley on the west extends 60 stadia to the Dead Sea (Josephus refers to it as Lake Asphaltitis). The valley on the east descends to a depth of a hundred cubits (150 ft).
Herod the Great regarded the place as deserving the strongest fortification, particularly because of its proximity to Arabia. On top of the mountain, surrounding the crest, he built a fortress wall, 100 meters long and 60 meters wide with three corner towers, each sixty cubits (90 ft) high. The palace was built in the center of the fortified area. Numerous cisterns were provided to collect rain water.
The royal courtyard is considered one of the closest and best existing archaeological parallels to the Herodian Gabbatha in the Jerusalem Praetorium, where Pontius Pilate judged Jesus of Nazareth.[8]
The village on the plateau to the east of the mountain is known Muqāwir (Arabic: مقاور). The site was visited in 1807 by the Frisian explorer Ulrich Jasper Seetzen, and the name of the village reminded him of the name of Machaerus in Greek. The archaeological excavation of Machaerus was begun in 1968 by Jerry Vardaman, then of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and later director of the Cobb Institute of Archeology at Mississippi State University. In 1973, the German scholar, August Strobel, identified and studied the wall by which the Romans encircled the defenders within the fortress. In 1978-1981, excavations were carried out by Virgilio Corbo, Stanislao Loffreda and Michele Piccirillo, from the Franciscan Biblical Institute in Jerusalem. The ruins remain in remarkably untouched condition to this day.
Within the fortified area are the ruins of the Herodian palace, including rooms, a large courtyard, and an elaborate bath, with fragments of the floor mosaic still remaining. Farther down the eastern slope of the hill are other walls and towers, perhaps representing the "lower town," of which Josephus also wrote.[9] Traceable also, coming from the east, is the aqueduct that brought water to the cisterns of the fortress. Pottery found in the area extends from late Hellenistic to Roman periods and confirms the two main periods of occupation, namely, Hasmonean (90 BC-57 BC) and Herodian (30 BC-AD 72), with a brief reoccupation soon after AD 72 and then nothing further—so complete and systematic was the destruction visited upon the site by the Romans.
In the Spring of 2014, archeologist Győző Vörös, with a team from the Hungarian Academy of Arts and in cooperation with Prince El-Hassan bin Talal and Monther Jamhawi, director general of antiquities in Jordan, completed a reconstruction and re-erection of two ancient columns at the site on the basis of the principle of anastylosis. One Doric column from the royal courtyard and one Ionic column from the royal bathhouse were cleaned and conserved in situ and joined together with stainless steel empolia (plugs) which were inserted into the original empolia holes in the center of the column. The team also created a digital reconstruction of what the palace would have looked like, based on their archaeological findings.[10]

Kristen Stewart has a new interview with Rifenery 29 after appearing at the Balenciaga fashion show during Paris Fashion week, and she talks about her clothing style and how much she loves Balenciaga.
When asked about incorporating color into her daily outfits, Stewart says the reason she wears simple clothes is to not give the paparazzi anything. "The reason you see me wearing simple clothes is because I don't want to give [the paparazzi] anything. Literally, I go outside every day in the same thing, so they can't say anything. So, it seems like I don't put any thought into it, but I recently put all my stuff in one area and obsessively, OCD-style, arranged all of my stuff. Like such a girl! And you might be surprised, but I do have more than a white T-shirt and a pair of jeans; I actually have some cool stuff! And I think I'm going to start using it. As I get older, I get more comfortable, and I'm finding those things that define me. Before, it really was just a T-shirt and jeans, but now, it's changing."
She also talks about how the Balenciaga aesthetic is similar to her own, saying, "I think it's the balance — you can look really pretty, depending on what you decide to wear with a piece, but you can be really hard as well. It's rare to find a brand that's not one, or the other. I know it seems like I just wear simple shit when I'm dressing normally, and a lot of black, but I like colors! I mean, Nicolas is really out there and he really pushes it with patterns –– his patterned jeans are better than anyone's."
Stewart also recently spoke about how she thinks the Balenciaga line was 'made' for her.
